The Dog Davs

The dog days, a season of the veal
about which considerable is said. and
of which there are many superstitions
over which timid people tremble, be.
gan Sunday, July 10th, and will last
until the Goth of August, or forty-two
days. The rising and setting Of" Sir
iias," or the dog star, with the sun, has
been universally regarded as the cause
OF the excessive heat that prevails
generally at this particular season.
The poor dogs, that are made to bear
the infamy of the source of discomfort.
are perhaps allied in some manner to
the extreme heat of the interval. but
they, as well as human beings. share
alike the Affections which are at this
season common. Dogs at this season
are supposed to be more susceptible TO
rabidness than at any other time. al
though there is no perceptible differ
ence between the former condition of
the sun and what it will be for the next
forty days. As a precautionary meas
ure, dogs should be muzzled during
this period. LIZ.

The Meanest Nan.

Newspaper Offices know a point or
two about that much-abus ed parsonage
-" the Meanest Man" Still. thew
cannot agree. Some put the exchange
hend down as the meanest. Some think
the fellow who squats in the sanctum
ana goobIes the morning papers before
Ine eulIor mas chance to glance, is
mean enough. Others rule him tbe
meanest man who subscribes for the
paper and never pays nor ever intends
to pay forit. We have had our exne-
rlence with all these, but, after due
consideration, we are prepared to main
tam that the meanest man is the fellow
who takes the paper year after year.
turns turns a blind eye to every bill asking
and finally, when his credit
Is about exhausted, notifies the most
master that he won't take that paner
any longer" as he ordered it stopbed

IHE encampment of the Delaware
Militia at RehObOth the past week has
been marked event not only for them
out equally so in the social world Of
society. The visitors to Rehobotb have
found the soldier boys among the

the ladies, well, all know their fascino-

hushed in the first swash of the never

The election on the adoption of the
proposed prohibition amendment ia
the constitution of Texas, which takes
place tomorrow, has excited an inter
est far beyond the limits of that state.
Texas was the last state in which such
pitch battle on the temperance oues-
ton it was thought would be fought
and consequently it has attracted ne
culiar interest.
The issue, as appears from the
papers, has from the first had a disin-
tegrating effect on the Democratic nar-
ty in the State. In the last ten wears
the Democratic majority in Texas has
only twice fallen below 100000. and in
1854 Grover Cleveland had a pluralitv
OF I32,lGO. 1t is clear then that there
could be no serious contest in Texas
unless the condition were so cbanopd
as virtually to abolish party lines. but
this is precisely what the prohibition
issue has done. For weeks past two
sets of Democratic speakers have been
canvassing the State and denouncinp
one another. The prohibition issue
which it was at first thought would
SIMPLY be buried under an overwhelm-
ing adverse vote, has already snlit
ana demoralized the dominant party
that nobody familiar with the situation
ieels 1t safe to make predictions as 70
the outcome. Both sides profess CON
hdence, and both figure out modest
majorities. But neither can tell how
the labor and colored vote will GO and
upon that depends the result.
Some claim that the colored vote
will be cast almost solid against the
amendment. Others maintain that
prohibition has made much headwav
among the cOlOred voters. Like nm. |
exists as to the tendency of
5he labor vote, and little can be gath. !
cred from its disposal in other States
Or the direction taken by labor organi.
II Is clear that whatever the result
u the vote may be, large prohibition
'ote will be cast. The Dallas Mems
Which is against the amendment. onlv
lgures out an anti-prohibition majority
4 5000. Considering all the cireum.

that prohibition has made

probably due to the great stock on
